PW 50
The smallest Yamaha playbike uses a mild, 2-stroke engine with a
simple, single-speed automatic transmission. The 49cc engine is mildly
tuned to deliver predictable power that gently eases the new rider up the
off-road learning curve. It's equipped with exclusive Autolube oil
injection that eliminates the need to premix fuel and oil. A single-speed
automatic transmission means rider simply twists the throttle and goes,
allowing him/her to concentrate on the ride ahead. While the
class-exclusive shaft drive system is virtually maintenance-free and comes
fully enclosed for added protection and durability.
The adjustable, handlebar-mounted throttle limiter allows parents or
adult supervisors to gradually increase power output as child's skill
level improves. Finally, class-lowest 19.1" seat height creates a
handling-enhancing bow center-of-gravity and allows most smaller riders to
put both feet down for added confidence.
